Hossa was traded to the Coyotes on Tuesday, TSN.ca reports. The Rangers sent Hossa and minor league goaltender Al Montoya to Phoenix for right wing Fredrik Sjostrom and a pair of minor leaguers - goaltender David LeNeveu and left wing Josh Gratton.

One word to describe Hossa -- enigmatic. He has all the tools, the ability. But for whatever reason, has not put it together on the ice. He should be as good as his brother Marian, who is a major star in this league -- so it appears this next season is the absolute pivotal season for Hossa. Either he'll progress, or he'll just end up playing hockey somewhere else.

Marcel Hossa has disappointed for a couple of seasons now. This is definitely his last chance to stick with the Canadiens. Hossa does not have the speed to get by defenders, nor does he have the toughness to go into the corners. Donít expect much out of this skilled Slovak this season.
